 We have a legacy product with around 100.000 active devices. We still need to distribute new firmware releases, and we are using the &amp;quot;Chained DFU&amp;quot; app for this purpose. 
 In the zip distribution package there is a 14 bytes &amp;quot;application.dat&amp;quot; file</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 12 Sep 2024 13:40:40 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/114623/generating-historical-dfu-package-for-nrf51822" /><item><title>RE: Generating "historical" DFU package for nRF51822</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/502325?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Sep 2024 13:40:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:bd560e38-6270-4a5f-880d-27d8310330a4</guid><dc:creator>Amanda Hsieh</dc:creator><description>[quote user="Amanda"]The versions are found here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="https://pypi.org/project/nrfutil/#history" href="https://pypi.org/project/nrfutil/#history" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://pypi.org/project/nrfutil/#history&lt;/a&gt;[/quote]

&lt;p&gt;Do you still have the historical windows build of nrfutil.exe available?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Generating "historical" DFU package for nRF51822</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/501955?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Sep 2024 13:36:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:535d600c-2a06-42e8-ab5c-4ca20de68076</guid><dc:creator>Amanda Hsieh</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]1. Is the old nrfutil.exe program producing the 14 byte application.dat file still available? Which versions will work?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Yes, installing with pip should install the old legacy version(s): pip install nrfutil&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You&amp;nbsp;could install any older version of nrfutil through pip. The versions are found here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="https://pypi.org/project/nrfutil/#history" href="https://pypi.org/project/nrfutil/#history" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://pypi.org/project/nrfutil/#history&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span dir="ltr"&gt;Download the version when you manufactured the device and match it approximately with the release timeline in the URL above.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]2. is it possible to let the new nrfutil generate release packages with the 14 byte application.dat file?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, no.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span dir="ltr"&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;Amanda H.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
